House updates....paint, paint and more PAINT!

I have finally finished the painting/mill work in the formal living/dinning rooms...Yee Haw!
Thanks Dad and Dave for all your help with this. Its only taken 6mths to get there...lol! 5mths late, but I couldn't be happier! I am thrilled with the outcome, it's so bright and lively. The color in this area was a drab mauve/grey, looked fine during summer, but in winter it was such a depressing, unwelcoming color. In winter its the room that you want to be in as it gets the beautiful warm winter sun. Hmmm, ugly grey room but gets all the sun, not a good combination! My goal was to bring the sunshine in, making it a happy, warm and comfortable place you want to be all the time. We love it and can not wait to finish it off with the curtains and furniture.

Here is the before photo pic (with previous owners furniture)

Here is the after photo looking towards the other corner in the dinning room.
OK having some technical issues with loading photos, will update as soon as my tech support wakes up =) Thanks techie! Lets try that again here are the after photo's.....

A reflection of the dinning room's back wall through the huge mirror we hung in the dinning room opposite the windows.
